Props to a Winter Clammer for Defying the Elements

To the Editor:

Walking my dog on one of the coldest mornings of this winter, the winds and temperature bit right through my layers, making me wish I were walking in a much warmer climate. I cursed and whined about the cold.

One day while traveling Route 72 East toward the Island over the small bridge at Bonnet Island, I noticed an odd, dark shape in the bay on the south side. I wondered if it could be a stranded marine mammal.
